[0001] The present invention relates to resin compositions, cured products, laminates, methods for producing cured products, methods for producing laminates, methods for producing semiconductor devices, semiconductor devices, and resins.
[0002] In modern times, resin materials manufactured from resin compositions containing resins are utilized in various fields. For example, resins such as polyimide are used in a wide range of applications due to their excellent heat resistance and insulation properties. While not limited to these applications, examples of applications in semiconductor devices for packaging include their use as insulating films, encapsulating materials, or protective films. They are also used as base films and coverlays for flexible substrates.
[0003] For example, in the applications described above, resins such as polyimide are used in the form of a resin composition containing a resin such as a polyimide precursor. Such a resin composition can be applied to a substrate, for example by coating, to form a resin film, and then, if necessary, exposure, development, heating, etc., can be performed to form a cured product on the substrate. Since the resin composition can be applied by known methods, it can be said that it has excellent manufacturing adaptability, such as a high degree of freedom in designing the shape, size, and application position of the resin composition when applied. In addition to the high performance of resins such as polyimide, the industrial application development of the above-mentioned resin composition is increasingly expected from the viewpoint of such excellent manufacturing adaptability.
[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a polyimide obtained from 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as CBDA) and a diamine compound containing specific structural units. Patent Document 2 describes a polyimide resin containing a specific combination of structural units.

In formula (A-1b), X 1 Y represents a cyclobutane ring. 1 R indicates a divalent organic group, 1 and R 2 Each of these independently represents either a hydrogen atom or a monovalent organic group.
[0012] The resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development, and more preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to exposure and development using a developer containing an organic solvent. The resin composition of the present invention can be used, for example, to form insulating films for semiconductor devices, interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, stress buffer films, etc., and is preferably used to form interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers. Furthermore, the resin composition of the present invention is preferably used to form a photosensitive film subjected to negative-type development. In the present invention, negative-type development refers to development in which unexposed areas are removed by development during exposure and development, and positive-type development refers to development in which exposed areas are removed by development. As the exposure method, developer, and development method described above, for example, the exposure method, developer, and development method described in the exposure step, development step, etc., described later in the description of the method for manufacturing cured products may be used.
[0013] The resin composition of the present invention exhibits excellent curability. Although the mechanism by which the above effect is obtained is unknown, it is presumed to be as follows.
[0014] Conventional polyimides use resins containing aromatic rings in the acid anhydride unit (for example, references 1-2). However, the present inventors have found that in conventional polyimides containing aromatic rings in the acid anhydride unit, the absorption of exposure light such as UV (ultraviolet) light by the aromatic ring is large, making it difficult to sufficiently expose the film to its depths, and there is room for improvement in curability. The resin composition of the present invention comprises a resin having a substructure represented by formula (A-1a) or formula (A-1b) which has polymerizable groups and a structure containing a cyclobutane ring, and a photopolymerization initiator. Since the cyclobutane ring absorbs less UV light than the aromatic ring, for example, the transmittance of UV light in a film made of the resin composition increases, making it easier to expose the film to its depths, and the photopolymerization initiator is sufficiently photosensitive even in the depths, so polymerization of the polymerizable groups proceeds sufficiently. Furthermore, the inclusion of a trans-conformed cyclobutane ring, which has higher mobility compared to aromatic rings, facilitates the orientation of the resin's crosslinking groups and increases the resin's crystallinity, thus improving the curability of the resin composition. Additionally, the inclusion of a trans-conformed cyclobutane ring restricts the structural mobility, which is thought to lower the coefficient of thermal expansion. In particular, when a certain amount of cis conformation is included, the resin's Tg becomes lower and softer, increasing the solubility of unexposed areas during exposure and development, thus improving the developability of the resin composition.
[0015] Here, the trans and cis conformations as used herein will be explained. The trans conformation of 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (CBDA) is represented by the following formula (Cy-1), and the cis conformation of CBDA is represented by the following formula (Cy-2). That is, the trans conformation is described as having two pairs of acid anhydride groups facing opposite directions relative to the central cyclobutane ring, and the cis conformation is described as having two pairs of acid anhydride groups facing the same direction relative to the central cyclobutane ring. When a cyclic structure is described without particularly limiting stereoisomers by means of a wedge bond or a prefix, it means that the stereoisomers are not particularly limited.
[0016] Also, Patent Documents 1 to 2 do not describe or suggest a resin composition containing a resin corresponding to a specific resin. The "cis, trans, cis form" described in Patent Documents 1 to 2 has the same geometric isomer structure as the trans conformation in this specification. Also, the trans conformation in this specification has the same geometric isomer structure as "cis-trans-cis form" in Figure 6 described in the document "Journal of Polymer Science: Part A: Polymer Chemistry, Vol. 38, 108-116 (2000)" cited by Patent Documents 1 to 2.
[0017] Hereinafter, the components contained in the resin composition of the present invention will be described in detail.

The degree of dispersion of the molecular weight of the above polyimide precursor is preferably 1.5 or higher, more preferably 1.8 or higher, and even more preferably 2.0 or higher. There is no particular upper limit for the degree of dispersion of the molecular weight of the polyimide precursor, but for example, it is preferably 7.0 or lower, more preferably 6.5 or lower, and even more preferably 6.0 or lower. In this specification, the degree of dispersion of molecular weight is a value calculated by weight-average molecular weight / number-average molecular weight. When a resin composition contains multiple types of polyimide precursors as a specific resin, it is preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and degree of dispersion of at least one of the polyimide precursors are within the above ranges. It is also preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and degree of dispersion calculated by treating the multiple types of polyimide precursors as a single resin are, respectively, within the above ranges.
[0117] When the specific resin is polyimide, the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the polyimide is preferably 5,000 to 100,000, more preferably 10,000 to 50,000, and even more preferably 15,000 to 40,000. By setting the weight-average molecular weight to 5,000 or more, the flexural resistance of the cured film can be improved. To obtain an organic film with excellent mechanical properties (e.g., elongation at break), a weight-average molecular weight of 15,000 or more is particularly preferred. The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyimide is preferably 2,000 to 40,000, more preferably 3,000 to 30,000, and even more preferably 4,000 to 20,000. The degree of dispersion of the molecular weight of the above polyimide is preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 1.8 or more, and even more preferably 2.0 or more. There is no specific upper limit for the degree of dispersion of the molecular weight of polyimide, but for example, it is preferably 7.0 or less, more preferably 6.5 or less, and even more preferably 6.0 or less. When the resin composition contains multiple types of polyimide as a specific resin, it is preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and degree of dispersion of at least one type of polyimide are within the above range. It is also preferable that the weight-average molecular weight, number-average molecular weight, and degree of dispersion calculated when the multiple types of polyimide are treated as a single resin are each within the above range.
[0118] When the specific resin is polyimide, the imidation rate (also called the "ring closure rate") of the polyimide is preferably 70% or more, more preferably 80% or more, and even more preferably 90% or more, from the viewpoint of the film strength, insulating properties, etc. of the resulting organic film. The upper limit of the above imidation rate is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less. Also, when the specific resin is polyimide, the content of the imide structure in the specific resin is preferably 3 mmol / g or less, and more preferably 2.5 mmol / g or less. The lower limit of the above content is not particularly limited, but for example it can be 0.5 mmol / g or more. The above imidation rate is measured by, for example, the following method.
[0119] In this invention, the imidization rate can be calculated by the following method. A specific resin is dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, diluted to a viscosity of 2,000 mPa·s, and applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin layer. If a resin layer cannot be formed due to reasons such as low solubility of the resin in γ-butyrolactone, the solvent may be changed to another solvent. Other solvents that can be used include solvents contained in the resin composition, such as NMP. The viscosity may also be adjusted as appropriate within an adjustable range. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin layer has been applied is dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin layer with a uniform thickness of approximately 15 μm on the silicon wafer after film formation. Here, if only a resin solution with low viscosity can be obtained, and it is difficult to obtain a resin layer with a thickness of 15 μm, the film thickness may be changed as appropriate. For example, if the film thickness is 5 μm or more, a similar value for the imidization rate can be obtained. The above resin layer was measured using the ATR method with Nicoleti S20 (manufactured by Thermofisher), with a measurement range of 4000–700 cm. -1 The measurement will be taken 50 times. 1380 cm -1 Nearby (1350-1450 cm) -1 (If there are multiple peaks, the peak height of the one with the highest peak intensity) and 1500 cm -1 Nearby (1460-1550 cm) -1 The imidization index A of the resin is calculated by dividing the value by the peak height of the peak with the maximum peak intensity (if there are multiple peaks). The film is heated at a rate of 10°C / min under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated to 350°C for 1 hour. The imidization index B is calculated in the same manner, and the value obtained by dividing the imidization index A by the imidization index B is calculated as the imidization rate of the resin. In measuring the imidization rate, the resin to be measured for imidization rate can be obtained from the composition by, for example, the following method: A solution of 1 g of the composition and 2 g of tetrahydrofuran is added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized to precipitate the resin, which is then filtered. The filtrate is collected, dissolved in 3.0 g of THF (tetrahydrofuran), added to 50 g of methanol or water and crystallized, filtered, and dried at 40°C for 20 hours to obtain the resin.
[0120] When the specific resin is a polyimide precursor, the imidization rate is preferably less than 70%, more preferably 60% or less, even more preferably 50% or less, even more preferably 40% or less, and particularly preferably 30% or less, from the viewpoint of the film strength and insulating properties of the resulting organic film. The lower limit of the above imidization rate is not particularly limited and may be 0% or more, or 4% or more. The range of the imidization rate may be any combination of the above lower and upper limits, and is particularly preferably 0% or more and 30% or less.
[0121] [Acid Value] From the viewpoint of storage stability and adhesion, the acid value of the specific resin is preferably 0.066 to 0.400 mmol / g, more preferably 0.069 to 0.356 mmol / g, and even more preferably 0.071 to 0.321 mmol / g. Furthermore, the acid value of the specific resin is preferably 3.70 to 22.5 mg KOH / g, more preferably 3.85 to 20.0 mg KOH / g, and even more preferably 4.00 to 18.0 mg KOH / g. The above acid value is measured by a known method, for example, by the method described in JIS K 0070:1992.
[0122] Furthermore, from the viewpoint of adhesion, it is also preferable that the specific resin is a polyamic acid ester in which the acidic functional groups at a pH below 8.0 are less than 0.1 mg KOH / g, and the acidic functional groups at a pH of 8.0 or higher are 3.70 to 22.5 mg KOH / g when titrated under the following conditions. Conditions: 0.300 g of resin is completely dissolved in 80 mL of NMP, then 5 mL of water is mixed in, and the mixture is titrated with a 0.01 mol / L NaOH aqueous solution. Whether or not it is completely dissolved can be confirmed by visual inspection by checking for the absence of residual material. If the above amount of resin does not completely dissolve in NMP, the amount of resin may be appropriately reduced and measured at the concentration in which it is completely dissolved. The acidic functional groups at a pH below 8.0 are preferably less than 0.01 mg KOH / g, and more preferably less than 0.001 mg KOH / g. The acidic functional groups at a pH of 8.0 or higher are preferably 3.70 to 22.5 mg KOH / g, and more preferably 4.00 to 18.0 mg KOH / g.
[0123] [Amine Value] From the viewpoint of storage stability of the composition, the amine value of the specific resin is preferably 0.100 mmol / g or less, more preferably 0.0001 to 0.090 mmol / g, and even more preferably 0.001 to 0.080 mmol / g. The lower limit of the above amine value is not particularly limited and may be 0.00 mmol / g. The above amine value was measured by dissolving 0.62 g of resin in 50 mL of diglym, and then adding 10 mL of acetic acid to prepare a measurement solution. This solution was then titrated with an acetic acid solution of 0.01 N (0.01 mol / L) perchloric acid and the neutralization point was detected.
[0124] [Transmittance] When the specific resin is used to form a film with a thickness of 5 μm, the transmittance at a wavelength of 365 nm is preferably 10% or more, more preferably 20% or more, even more preferably 30% or more, and most preferably 50% or more. The upper limit of the above transmittance is not particularly limited and may be 100% or less. The above film can be obtained, for example, by dissolving the specific resin in γ-butyrolactone, coating it on a transparent substrate, and then heating it at 100°C for 5 minutes. Considering solvent solubility, N-methylpyrrolidone or the like may be used instead of γ-butyrolactone. Furthermore, the transparent substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is measurable, and glass substrates, or quartz substrates if greater transparency is required, can be used.
[0125] [Synthesis Method for Specific Resins] As a synthesis method for specific resins, general methods for synthesizing polyamic acid or polyamic acid esters, or polyimides can be used. Specific resins as polyimide precursors can be obtained using methods such as: reacting tetracarboxylic dianhydride with a diamine at low temperature; reacting tetracarboxylic dianhydride with a diamine at low temperature to obtain polyamic acid and then esterifying it with a condensing agent or alkylating agent; obtaining a diester from tetracarboxylic dianhydride with an alcohol and then reacting it with a diamine in the presence of a condensing agent; obtaining a diester from tetracarboxylic dianhydride with an alcohol and then acid-halogenating the remaining dicarboxylic acid with a halogenating agent and reacting it with a diamine. Of the above production methods, the method of obtaining a diester from tetracarboxylic dianhydride with an alcohol and then acid-halogenating the remaining dicarboxylic acid with a halogenating agent and reacting it with a diamine is more preferred. Examples of the condensing agents include dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, diisopropylcarbodiimide, 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroquinoline, 1,1-carbonyldioxy-di-1,2,3-benzotriazole, N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate, and trifluoroacetic anhydride. Examples of the alkylating agents include N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal, N,N-dimethylformamide diethylacetal, N,N-dialkylformamide dialkylacetal, trimethyl orthoformate, and triethyl orthoformate. Examples of the halogenating agents include thionyl chloride, oxalyl chloride, and phosphorus oxychloride. In the method for producing the specific resin, it is preferable to use an organic solvent in the reaction. One or more organic solvents may be used. The organic solvent can be appropriately determined depending on the raw materials, but examples include pyridine, diethylene glycol dimethyl ether (diglym), N-methylpyrrolidone, N-ethylpyrrolidone, ethyl propionate, dimethylacetamide, dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, and γ-butyrolactone. In the method for producing specific resins, it is preferable to add a basic compound during the reaction.The basic compound may be one type or two or more types. The basic compound can be appropriately determined depending on the raw materials, but examples include triethylamine, diisopropylethylamine, pyridine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undeca-7-ene, and N,N-dimethyl-4-aminopyridine.
[0126] As for the synthesis method of polyimide, known methods can be used without particular limitation, such as imidizing the polyimide precursor obtained by the above-described method of synthesizing polyimide precursors by chemical imidation or thermal imidation using an imidation catalyst, or producing it from tetracarboxylic acid and diisocyanate by decarboxylation.
[0127] [Method for purifying tetracarboxylic dianhydride] In order to adjust the ratio of the molar amount of cyclobutane rings in the trans conformation to the total molar amount of cyclobutane rings contained in the resin, it is preferable to purify commercially available cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride. Means for increasing the trans conformation of cyclobutane include recrystallization of 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic dianhydride, sublimation purification, and photoisomerization.
[0128] Conventional known methods can be used to obtain compounds with a high molar proportion of the trans conformation. While there are no particular limitations, for example, sublimation purification, recrystallization, reprecipitation, zone melting, column purification, and adsorption methods can be used. Sublimation purification is particularly preferred. In sublimation purification, not only sublimable compounds but also compounds that do not sublimate but melt can be used. That is, distillation can be performed using a sublimation purification apparatus. A sublimation purification apparatus, for example, is one that heats and sublimes the compound in a reduced-pressure glass tube, and then separates and recovers the compounds according to their volatility points. For example, a large apparatus capable of sublimation purification of 100 g to 3 kg with a sublimation tube diameter of 300Φ can be used. Maximum temperature 900°C, achievable vacuum 2.7 × 10⁻⁶ -4 Pa can be set. Examples of such equipment include the large sublimation purification system "HX331" (manufactured by NARD Laboratory Co., Ltd.). Alternatively, the sublimation purification system SU-45-800 (manufactured by Asahi Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) can be suitably used.
[0129] Another method for obtaining compounds with a high molar proportion of the trans conformation is to use a photodimerization reaction. For example, maleic anhydride is irradiated with high-pressure mercury lamp light in various solvents, and the precipitated crystals are filtered off. When ethyl acetate or diethyl carbonate is used as the solvent, the molar proportion of the trans conformation can be increased. As a synthesis method that preferentially synthesizes the trans conformation by the above-mentioned photodimerization, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2-61956, the method described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2003-192685, and the method described in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2006-328027 can be suitably used.
[0130] -End-Sealing Agents- In the manufacturing method of a specific resin, it is preferable to seal off carboxylic acid anhydrides, acid anhydride derivatives, or amino groups remaining at the ends of the resin, such as polyimide precursors, in order to further improve storage stability. When sealing off carboxylic acid anhydrides and acid anhydride derivatives remaining at the ends of the resin, examples of end-sealing agents include monoalcohols, phenols, thiols, thiophenols, and monoamines. From the perspective of reactivity and film stability, it is more preferable to use monoalcohols, phenols, or monoamines. Preferred monoalcohol compounds include primary alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, hexanol, octanol, dodecinol, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, 2-methoxyethanol, 2-chloromethanol, and furfuryl alcohol; secondary alcohols such as isopropanol, 2-butanol, cyclohexyl alcohol, cyclopentanol, and 1-methoxy-2-propanol; and tertiary alcohols such as t-butyl alcohol and adamantane alcohol. Preferred phenolic compounds include phenol, methoxyphenol, methylphenol, naphthalene-1-ol, naphthalene-2-ol, hydroxystyrene, and other phenolic compounds.Furthermore, preferred monoamine compounds include aniline, 2-ethynylaniline, 3-ethynylaniline, 4-ethynylaniline, 5-amino-8-hydroxyquinoline, 1-hydroxy-7-aminonaphthalene, 1-hydroxy-6-aminonaphthalene, 1-hydroxy-5-aminonaphthalene, 1-hydroxy-4-aminonaphthalene, 2-hydroxy-7-aminonaphthalene, 2-hydroxy-6-aminonaphthalene, 2-hydroxy-5-aminonaphthalene, 1-carboxy-7-aminonaphthalene, 1-carboxy-6-aminonaphthalene, 1-carboxy-5-aminonaphthalene, Examples include 2-carboxy-7-aminonaphthalene, 2-carboxy-6-aminonaphthalene, 2-carboxy-5-aminonaphthalene, 2-aminobenzoic acid, 3-aminobenzoic acid, 4-aminobenzoic acid, 4-aminosalicylic acid, 5-aminosalicylic acid, 6-aminosalicylic acid, 2-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 3-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid, 3-amino-4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine, 2-aminophenol, 3-aminophenol, 4-aminophenol, 2-aminothiophenol, 3-aminothiophenol, and 4-aminothiophenol. Two or more of these may be used, and multiple different end groups may be introduced by reacting multiple end encapsulants. Furthermore, when encapsulating the amino groups at the ends of the resin, it is possible to encapsulate them with compounds having functional groups that can react with amino groups. Preferred encapsulants for amino groups include carboxylic acid anhydrides, carboxylic acid chlorides, carboxylic acid bromides, sulfonic acid chlorides, sulfonic acid anhydrides, and sulfonic acid carboxylic acid anhydrides, with carboxylic acid anhydrides and carboxylic acid chlorides being more preferred. Preferred carboxylic acid anhydrides include acetic anhydride, propionic anhydride, oxalic acid anhydride, succinic anhydride, maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, benzoic anhydride, and 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid anhydride.Furthermore, preferred carboxylic acid chloride compounds include acetyl chloride, acrylate chloride, propionyl chloride, methacrylate chloride, pivaloyl chloride, cyclohexanecarbonyl chloride, 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride, cinnamoyl chloride, 1-adamantane carbonyl chloride, heptafluorobutyryl chloride, stearate chloride, and benzoyl chloride.
[0131] Furthermore, as a terminal encapsulant, it is also preferable to use a compound having a polymerizable group in addition to a functional group that can react with an amino group. The polymerizable group is not limited as long as it can form a new organic bond. Examples of organic bonds that can be formed include carbon-carbon bonds, ester bonds, amide bonds, imide bonds, urea bonds, and urethane bonds. The above organic bonds are formed by radical crosslinking, cationic crosslinking, photodimerization, and by being induced by light or heat from combinations of carboxylic acid-alcohol, carboxylic acid-amine, isocyanate-alcohol, isocyanate-amine, etc. Preferred polymerizable groups include (meth)acrylic groups, styryl groups, carbon-carbon unsaturated groups, maleimide groups, epoxy groups, oxetane groups, and isocyanate groups.
[0132] -Solid Precipitation- The method for producing a specific resin may include a step of precipitating a solid. Specifically, after filtering off the water-absorbing by-products of the dehydrating condensing agent present in the reaction solution as needed, the obtained polymer component is added to a poor solvent such as water, an aliphatic lower alcohol, or a mixture thereof, and the polymer component is precipitated as a solid. By drying this precipitate, a polyimide precursor or the like can be obtained. To improve the degree of purity, the polyimide precursor or the like may be repeatedly redissolved, reprecipitation, and dried. Furthermore, the method may include a step of removing ionic impurities using an ion exchange resin.

Semiconductor manufacturing substrates are particularly preferred, and silicon substrates, Cu substrates, and molded substrates are more preferred. These substrates may have layers such as an adhesion layer or an oxide layer made of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) on their surface. The shape of the substrate is not particularly limited and may be circular or rectangular.

For the resin composition of the present invention, exposure with a high-pressure mercury lamp is particularly preferred, and exposure with the i-line is more preferred from the viewpoint of exposure sensitivity. The exposure method is not particularly limited, and any method in which at least a part of the film made of the resin composition of the present invention is exposed is acceptable, but examples include exposure using a photomask and exposure by laser direct imaging.

By developing, one of the exposed and unexposed parts of the film is removed, and a pattern is formed. Here, development in which the unexposed part of the film is removed by the development process is called negative development, and development in which the exposed part of the film is removed by the development process is called positive development.

[0326] [Rinsing Solution] If the developer is an alkaline aqueous solution, water can be used as the rinsing solution. If the developer contains an organic solvent, a solvent different from the solvent contained in the developer (for example, water, or an organic solvent different from the organic solvent contained in the developer) can be used as the rinsing solution.
[0327] When the rinsing solution contains an organic solvent, the organic solvent can be the same as the organic solvent exemplified above when the developer contains an organic solvent.

[0330] The rinse solution may further contain other components. Examples of other components include known surfactants and known defoaming agents.
[0331] [Method of supplying rinsing solution] There are no particular restrictions on the method of supplying the rinsing solution as long as a desired pattern can be formed. These include immersing the substrate in the rinsing solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate by pouring the solution, supplying the rinsing solution to the substrate with a shower, and continuously supplying the rinsing solution onto the substrate using means such as a straight nozzle. From the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution, the removal of non-image areas, and manufacturing efficiency, there are methods of supplying the rinsing solution with a shower nozzle, a straight nozzle, a spray nozzle, etc., and the method of continuous supply with a spray nozzle is preferred, and from the viewpoint of the penetration of the rinsing solution into the image area, the method of supplying with a spray nozzle is more preferred. There are no particular restrictions on the type of nozzle, and examples include straight nozzles, shower nozzles, spray nozzles, etc. That is, the rinsing process is preferably a process of supplying the rinsing solution to the film after exposure using a straight nozzle or continuously supplying it, and it is more preferable to supply the rinsing solution using a spray nozzle. Possible methods for supplying the rinsing solution in the rinsing process include a process in which the rinsing solution is continuously supplied to the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is kept in a nearly stationary state on the substrate, a process in which the rinsing solution is vibrated on the substrate using ultrasound or the like, and a process that combines these methods.

[0333] <Heating Step> The pattern obtained by the developing step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which the pattern obtained by the developing step is heated. Furthermore, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step in which a pattern obtained by another method without performing a developing step, or a film obtained by a film formation step is heated. In the heating step, resins such as polyimide precursors are cyclized to become resins such as polyimide. In addition, crosslinking of unreacted crosslinkable groups in specific resins or crosslinking agents other than specific resins also proceeds. The heating temperature (maximum heating temperature) in the heating step is preferably 50 to 450°C, more preferably 150 to 350°C, even more preferably 150 to 250°C, even more preferably 160 to 250°C, and particularly preferably 160 to 230°C.

[0335] In the heating process, heating is preferably carried out at a heating rate of 1 to 12°C / minute from the initial heating temperature to the maximum heating temperature. More preferably, the heating rate is 2 to 10°C / minute, and even more preferably 3 to 10°C / minute. By setting the heating rate to 1°C / minute or more, it is possible to prevent excessive volatilization of acid or solvent while ensuring productivity, and by setting the heating rate to 12°C / minute or less, it is possible to alleviate residual stress in the cured product.

[0336] The starting temperature for heating is preferably 20°C to 150°C, more preferably 20°C to 130°C, and even more preferably 25°C to 120°C. The starting temperature for heating refers to the temperature at which the process of heating to the maximum heating temperature is initiated. For example, when the resin composition of the present invention is applied to a substrate and then dried, this is the temperature of the film (layer) after drying, and it is preferable to start the heating process from a temperature 30 to 200°C lower than the boiling point of the solvent contained in the resin composition.
[0337] The heating time (heating time at the maximum heating temperature) is preferably 5 to 360 minutes, more preferably 10 to 300 minutes, and even more preferably 15 to 240 minutes.

The upper limit of the above heating temperature is preferably 350°C or lower, more preferably 250°C or lower, and even more preferably 240°C or lower.
[0339] Heating may be carried out in stages. For example, the process may involve raising the temperature from 25°C to 120°C at a rate of 3°C / min, holding at 120°C for 60 minutes, raising the temperature from 120°C to 180°C at a rate of 2°C / min, and holding at 180°C for 120 minutes. It is also preferable to treat the film while irradiating it with ultraviolet light, as described in U.S. Patent No. 9,159,547. Such a pretreatment process can improve the properties of the film. The pretreatment process is preferably carried out for a short time of about 10 seconds to 2 hours, and more preferably for 15 seconds to 30 minutes. The pretreatment process may consist of two or more steps; for example, the first pretreatment step may be carried out in the range of 100 to 150°C, followed by the second pretreatment step in the range of 150 to 200°C. Furthermore, the film may be cooled after heating, and in this case, the cooling rate is preferably 1 to 5°C / min.
[0340] The heating process is preferably carried out in a low-oxygen atmosphere, such as by flowing an inert gas like nitrogen, helium, or argon, or under reduced pressure, from the viewpoint of preventing the decomposition of specific resins. The oxygen concentration is preferably 50 ppm (by volume) or less, and more preferably 20 ppm (by volume) or less. The heating means in the heating process is not particularly limited, but examples include hot plates, infrared furnaces, electric ovens, hot air ovens, and infrared ovens.
[0341] <Post-development exposure step> The pattern obtained in the development step (or the pattern after rinsing, if a rinsing step is performed) may be subjected to a post-development exposure step in which the pattern after the development step is exposed, either in place of the heating step or in addition to the heating step. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a post-development exposure step in which the pattern obtained in the development step is exposed. The method for producing a cured product of the present invention may include a heating step and a post-development exposure step, or it may include only one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step. In the post-development exposure step, for example, reactions such as the cyclization of polyimide precursors etc. by photosensitivity of a photobase generator, or the elimination of acid-degradable groups by photosensitivity of a photoacid generator can be promoted. In the post-development exposure step, it is sufficient for at least a part of the pattern obtained in the development step to be exposed, but it is preferable for the entire pattern to be exposed. The amount of exposure in the post-development exposure step is 50 to 20,000 mJ / cm in terms of exposure energy at the wavelength to which the photosensitive compound is sensitive. 2 Preferably, 100 to 15,000 mJ / cm² 2 This is more preferable. The post-development exposure step can be performed, for example, using the light source in the exposure step described above, and it is preferable to use broadband light.
[0342] <Metal Layer Formation Process> The pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process) may be subjected to a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern. That is, the method for producing a cured product of the present invention preferably includes a metal layer formation process in which a metal layer is formed on the pattern obtained by the development process (preferably one that has been subjected to at least one of the heating process and the post-development exposure process).
[0343] The metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing metal species can be used, with examples including copper, aluminum, nickel, vanadium, titanium, chromium, cobalt, gold, tungsten, tin, silver, and alloys containing these metals, with copper and aluminum being more preferred, and copper being even more preferred.
[0344] The method for forming the metal layer is not particularly limited, and existing methods can be applied. For example, methods described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-157879, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2001-521288, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-214501, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2004-101850, U.S. Patent No. 7,888,181, and U.S. Patent No. 9,177,926 can be used. For example, photolithography, PVD (physical vapor deposition), CVD (chemical vapor deposition), lift-off, electroplating, electroless plating, etching, printing, and methods combining these can be considered. More specifically, patterning methods combining sputtering, photolithography and etching, and patterning methods combining photolithography and electroplating can be mentioned. Preferred embodiments of plating include electroplating using copper sulfate or copper cyanide plating solutions.
[0345] The thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.01 to 50 μm at the thickest part, and more preferably 1 to 10 μm.

Other applications include sealing films, substrate materials (base films and coverlays for flexible printed circuit boards, interlayer insulating films), or etching to form patterns on insulating films for the above-mentioned mounting applications. For more information on these applications, please refer to, for example, Science & Technology Co., Ltd., "High-Functionality and Application Technologies of Polyimides," April 2008, supervised by Masaaki Kakimoto; CMC Technical Library, "Fundamentals and Development of Polyimide Materials," November 2011; and the Japan Polyimide and Aromatic Polymer Research Association, ed., "Latest Polyimide Fundamentals and Applications," NTS, August 2010.
[0347] The method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, or the cured product of the present invention, can also be used for manufacturing printing plates such as offset plates or screen printing plates, for etching molded parts, and for manufacturing protective lacquers and dielectric layers in electronics, particularly microelectronics.
[0348] (Laminate and Method for Manufacturing a Laminate) The laminate of the present invention refers to a structure having multiple layers made of the cured product of the present invention. The laminate is a laminate containing two or more layers made of the cured product, and may be a laminate with three or more layers. Of the two or more layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate, at least one is made of the cured product of the present invention, and from the viewpoint of suppressing shrinkage of the cured product or deformation of the cured product due to the above shrinkage, it is also preferable that all the layers made of the cured product included in the above laminate are made of the cured product of the present invention.
[0349] In other words, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention, and more preferably includes repeating the method for manufacturing the cured product of the present invention multiple times.
[0350] The laminate of the present invention preferably comprises two or more layers made of cured material, with a metal layer preferably included between any of the layers made of cured material. The metal layer is preferably formed by the metal layer formation step described above. That is, the method for manufacturing the laminate of the present invention preferably further includes a metal layer formation step of forming a metal layer on a layer made of cured material, which is performed multiple times during the manufacturing process of the cured material. The preferred embodiment of the metal layer formation step is as described above. As the laminate, for example, a laminate is preferred that includes at least three layers in which a first layer made of cured material, a metal layer, and a second layer made of cured material are laminated in this order. It is preferable that both the first layer made of cured material and the second layer made of cured material are layers made of cured material of the present invention. The resin composition of the present invention used to form the first layer made of cured material and the resin composition of the present invention used to form the second layer made of cured material may have the same composition or may have different compositions. The metal layer in the laminate of the present invention is preferably used as metal wiring such as a rewiring layer.
[0351] <Lamination Process> The method for manufacturing a laminate of the present invention preferably includes a lamination process. The lamination process is a series of steps that include performing, in this order, at least one of the following on the surface of a pattern (resin layer) or metal layer: (a) film formation process (layer formation process), (b) exposure process, (c) development process, (d) heating process, and post-development exposure process. However, the method may also involve repeating at least one of the following: (a) film formation process and (d) heating process and post-development exposure process. Furthermore, at least one of the following: (d) heating process and post-development exposure process may be followed by (e) metal layer formation process. Needless to say, the lamination process may further include the above-mentioned drying process and the like as appropriate.
[0352] If further lamination is performed after the lamination process, a surface activation treatment step may be performed after the exposure step, the heating step, or the metal layer formation step. Plasma treatment is an example of a surface activation treatment. Details of the surface activation treatment will be described later.
[0353] The above lamination process is preferably performed 2 to 20 times, and more preferably 2 to 9 times. For example, a configuration with 2 to 20 resin layers, such as resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer / resin layer / metal layer, is preferred, and a configuration with 2 to 9 resin layers is even more preferred. Each of the above layers may have the same composition, shape, film thickness, etc., or they may be different.
[0354] In the present invention, it is particularly preferable to form a cured product (resin layer) of the resin composition of the present invention so as to cover the metal layer after providing the metal layer. Specifically, examples include repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (b) exposure, (c) development, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation, or repeating the steps in the order of (a) film formation, (d) heating and post-development exposure, and (e) metal layer formation. By alternately performing the lamination step of stacking the resin composition layer (resin layer) of the present invention and the metal layer formation step, the resin composition layer (resin layer) and the metal layer of the present invention can be alternately stacked.
[0355] (Surface Activation Treatment Step) The manufacturing method of the laminate of the present invention preferably includes a surface activation treatment step in which at least a portion of the metal layer and the resin composition layer is surface activated. The surface activation treatment step is usually performed after the metal layer formation step, but after the development step (preferably after at least one of the heating step and the post-development exposure step), the surface activation treatment step may be performed on the resin composition layer before the metal layer formation step. The surface activation treatment may be performed only on at least a portion of the metal layer, or only on at least a portion of the resin composition layer after exposure, or on at least a portion of both the metal layer and the resin composition layer after exposure. It is preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on at least a portion of the metal layer, and more preferably to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the area on the surface of the metal layer where the resin composition layer is formed. By performing the surface activation treatment on the surface of the metal layer in this way, the adhesion with the resin composition layer (film) provided on its surface can be improved. It is also preferable to perform the surface activation treatment on a portion or all of the resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure. Thus, by performing a surface activation treatment on the surface of the resin composition layer, the adhesion between the surface-activated layer and the metal layer or resin layer provided on the surface-activated layer can be improved. In particular, when the resin composition layer is cured, such as when performing negative type development, it is less susceptible to damage from the surface treatment and adhesion is easily improved. The surface activation treatment can be carried out, for example, by the method described in paragraph 0415 of International Publication No. 2021 / 112189. This content is incorporated herein by reference.

[0365] - Synthesis of polyimide precursor (polyamic acid ester) A-32 - A-32 was obtained by the same method as in the synthesis of A-28, except that 17.6 g of trans-CBDA and 1.9 g of cis-CBDA were used instead of 19.6 g of trans-CBDA. - Synthesis of polyimide precursor (polyamic acid ester) A-35 - 4.7 g of trans-CBDA, 0.2 g of cis-CBDA, and 7.76 g of 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride were added to a three-necked flask under a nitrogen atmosphere and dissolved in 300 mL of anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (water content less than 1 ppm, manufactured by Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.).

The weight-average molecular weight of the obtained polymer was 26,000, and the imidization rate was 0%.
[0366] In the examples below where "PI" is written in the "Type of Resin" column of the table, the acid anhydride, diamine, and crosslinkable group-containing diamine listed in the table were used, the polymerizable group was changed to the one listed in "Crosslinkable Group" in the table, and the terminal group was changed to the one listed in the table below, except that the synthesis was carried out in the same manner as described for polyimide A-1 above. The values in the table represent the molar ratio of each raw material used. In the examples below where "PA" is written in the "Type of Resin" column of the table, the acid anhydride, diamine, and crosslinkable group-containing diamine listed in the table were used, the polymerizable group was changed to the one listed in "Crosslinkable Group" in the table, and the terminal group was changed to the one listed in the table below, except that the synthesis was carried out in the same manner as described for polyimide precursor A-28 above. Note that the crosslinkable group-containing diamine has a structure consisting of DAK-X (X=1 to 3), a crosslinkable group, and a linking group X. For example, in resin A-1, the crosslinkable group-containing diamine has a structure in which the crosslinkable group (K-3) and the linking group X (-O-) form an -O- linkage (ether linkage) as X in formula (DAK-1). Also, in resin A-45, the crosslinkable group-containing diamine has a structure in which the crosslinkable group (K-1) and the linking group X (-CO) form an -O- linkage (ether linkage) as X in formula (DAK-1). 2 The -) structure forms a -C(=O)O- linkage (ester linkage) and has an -Ar-C(=O)O- structure. In the table, examples where "CO2" is written in the "Poly-CO2- / Poly-NH-" column indicate that the terminal end after the polycondensation reaction of the raw materials is a structure derived from an acid anhydride, and examples where "NH" is written indicate that the terminal end after the reaction of the raw materials is a structure derived from a diamine. For example, if you want to obtain a resin whose terminal end is a structure derived from an acid anhydride as described above, one possible method is to use an amount of acid anhydride or a compound derived from an acid anhydride that is greater than the amount of diamine or a compound derived from a diamine during synthesis. By reacting these structures with an end-sealing agent, the structure derived from the end-sealing agent is linked to the end of the resin as the structure described in the "End Group" column of the table by the "CO2" structure or "NH".
[0367] [Measurement Method for Weight-Average Molecular Weight] Unless otherwise specified, the weight-average molecular weight and number-average molecular weight for each resin were measured using the following method. A high-speed GPC instrument HLC-8420GPC (manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) was used, with a TSK guard column Super AW-H (4.6 mm × 35 mm) as the guard column and two TSKgel Super AWM-H (4.6 mm × 150 mm) columns connected in series for GPC measurement. A 0.01 mol / L lithium bromide NMP (N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone) solution was used as the eluent. The measured weight-average molecular weight is listed in the "Mw" column in the table.
[0368] [Method for measuring the imidization rate] Each resin was dissolved in γ-butyrolactone, diluted to 2,000 mPa·s, and applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin layer. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin layer was applied was dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin layer with a uniform thickness of approximately 15 μm on the silicon wafer after film formation. The above resin layer was measured by the ATR method using Nicoleti S20 (Thermofisher), with a measurement range of 4000 to 700 cm². -1 The measurement was taken 50 times. 1380 cm -1 Nearby (1350-1450 cm) -1 (If there are multiple peaks, the peak height of the one with the highest peak intensity) and 1500 cm -1 Nearby (1460-1550 cm) -1 The imidization index A of the resin was calculated by dividing the value by the peak height of the peak with the highest peak intensity (if there are multiple peaks). For films heated at 350°C for 1 hour under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10°C / min, the imidization index B was calculated using the same method, and the imidization rate of the resin was calculated by dividing the imidization index A by the imidization index B.

The copper substrate on which the resin composition layer was formed was dried on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin composition layer on the copper substrate with a thickness of 19.2 μm and a nearly uniform thickness. The resin composition layer on the copper substrate was exposed to light at a wavelength of 365 nm with an exposure energy of 50 to 2000 mJ / cm2 in increments of 10 mJ / cm2 using a photomask on which a 10 μm 1:1 line and space pattern was formed. After that, it was developed with cyclopentanone for 60 seconds, rinsed with PGMEA, and then cured at 220°C for 5 min to obtain a cured product with a 1:1 line and space pattern. The line pattern of the obtained cured product was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to determine the optimal exposure amount for forming a 10 μm 1:1 line and space pattern.

[0386] [Evaluation of Developability] The resin compositions prepared in each example and comparative example, or the comparative resin composition, were applied in layers to a copper substrate by spin coating to form a resin composition layer or a comparative resin composition layer. The copper substrates on which the obtained resin composition layers or comparative resin composition layers were formed were dried on a hot plate at 100°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin composition layer or comparative resin composition layer with a thickness of 19.2 μm and a nearly uniform thickness on the copper substrate. The resin composition layer or comparative resin composition layer on the copper substrate was subjected to development at 500 mJ / cm using a photomask with a 1:1 line and space pattern formed in 1 μm increments from 5 μm to 25 μm. 2 The samples were exposed to light with a wavelength of 365 nm using the specified exposure energy. In the cases where "M" was indicated in the exposure conditions column, a stepper was used as the light source, and the samples were exposed to light with the exposure wavelength (nm) indicated in the "Exposure Wavelength (nm)" column of the table. Subsequently, the samples were developed with cyclopentanone for 60 seconds and rinsed with PGMEA to obtain a 100 μm square resin layer. In the cases where a numerical value was indicated in the "Cure Temperature" column, a hot plate was used to heat the resin composition layer after exposure in a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 10 °C / min until it reached the temperature indicated in the "Cure Temperature (°C)" column of the table. After that, the temperature was maintained for the "Cure Time (min)" time indicated in the table to obtain a cured product. The line pattern of the obtained cured product was observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the number of residues with a maximum diameter of 1 μm or more in the 10 μm square developed area at 10 μmL / S was measured at five different locations, and the average value was calculated. The evaluation was conducted according to the following evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results are recorded in the "Developability" column of the table. The fewer the observed residues, the better the developability. -Evaluation Criteria- A: The average number of residues was 0. B: The average number of residues was 0 or more and less than 1. C: The average number of residues was 1 or more and less than 2. D: The average number of residues was 2 or more and less than 5. E: The average number of residues was 5 or more.

The evaluation was performed according to the evaluation criteria below, and the evaluation results are recorded in the "Adhesion" column of the table. Products that adhere well even at narrow line widths are considered to have superior adhesion. -Evaluation Criteria- A: No peeling was observed at any line width. B: Peeling was observed at 5 μm, but not at 10 μm or wider. C: Peeling was observed at 10 μm or narrower, but not at 15 μm or wider. D: Peeling was observed at 15 μm or narrower, but not at 20 μm or wider. E: Peeling was observed even at 20 μm or wider.
[0388] [Evaluation of CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion)] In each example and comparative example, a resin composition or a comparative resin composition was applied to a silicon wafer by spin coating to form a resin composition layer. The silicon wafer to which the obtained resin composition layer was applied was dried on a hot plate at 110°C for 5 minutes to obtain a resin composition layer with a uniform thickness of 19.2 μm after film formation on the silicon wafer. The obtained resin composition layer was subjected to a Ushio exposure machine (light source: 500 W / m²). 2 (Ultra-high pressure mercury lamp) 400 mJ / cm 2Exposure was performed using a dumbbell-shaped mask with the following exposure energy. The dumbbell shape was the No. 7 dumbbell shape described in JIS K 6251:2017. The resin composition layer (resin layer) after exposure was developed with cyclopentanone until the unexposed areas were removed, and then rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds. Furthermore, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature was increased at a rate of 10°C / min to 230°C for 3 hours. The cured resin layer (cured product) was immersed in a 4.9 mass% hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution, and the dumbbell-shaped cured product (test piece) was peeled off from the silicon wafer (sample width 2 mm, sample length 35 mm). The CTE of the test piece prepared above at 25°C to 125°C was measured using a TMA450 (TA Instruments). The heating and cooling conditions during evaluation were as follows (1) to (4). (1) The temperature was increased from room temperature to 130°C at a heating rate of 5°C / min. (2) The temperature was lowered from 130°C to 10°C at a rate of 5°C / min. (3) The temperature was raised from 10°C to 300°C at a rate of 5°C / min. (4) The sample was allowed to cool naturally to room temperature. During the heating and cooling processes in (1) to (4) above, the elongation (displacement) of the sample was measured, and the elongation (displacement) of the sample at 25°C and 125°C in process (3) was divided by the temperature to calculate the coefficient of thermal expansion. (Example: If the length of the sample at 25°C was 50 mm and the length of the sample at 125°C was 50.2 mm, the displacement was calculated to be 0.4% = 4000 ppm, and the coefficient of thermal expansion was calculated to be 4000 / (125 - 25) = 40 ppm / °C.) The obtained coefficient of thermal expansion was evaluated according to the following evaluation criteria, and the evaluation results are recorded in the "CTE" column of the table. -Evaluation Criteria- A: The coefficient of thermal expansion was less than 20 ppm / °C. B: The coefficient of thermal expansion was 20 ppm / °C or higher and less than 30 ppm / °C. C: The coefficient of thermal expansion was 30 ppm / °C or higher and less than 50 ppm / °C. D: The coefficient of thermal expansion was 50 ppm / °C or higher and less than 65 ppm / °C. E: The coefficient of thermal expansion was 65 ppm / °C or higher.
[0389] From the above results, it can be seen that the resin composition according to the present invention has excellent curability. In comparison, it can be seen that the cured product obtained from the comparative composition that does not contain the specific resin has inferior curability.
[0390] <Example 1001> The resin composition used in Example 1 was applied in layers to the surface of a copper thin layer formed on a resin substrate by spin coating, and dried at 100°C for 4 minutes to form a photosensitive resin composition layer with a thickness of 20 μm. Then, it was exposed using a stepper (Nikon Corporation, NSR1505 i6). Exposure was performed at a wavelength of 365 nm through a mask (a binary mask with a 1:1 line-and-space pattern and a line width of 10 μm). After exposure, it was heated at 100°C for 4 minutes. After the above heating, it was developed with cyclohexanone for 2 minutes and rinsed with PGMEA for 30 seconds to obtain the layer pattern. Next, under a nitrogen atmosphere, the temperature was increased at a rate of 10°C / min until it reached 230°C, and then maintained at 230°C for 3 hours to form an interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer. This interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer had excellent insulating properties. Furthermore, when semiconductor devices were manufactured using these interlayer insulating films for redistribution layers, it was confirmed that they functioned without any problems.
[0391] <Examples 1002 to 1046> In Example 1001, the resin composition was changed from the one used in Example 1 to the one used in Examples 2 to 46, respectively. Otherwise, the evaluation was the same as in Example 1001. In all examples, the interlayer insulating film for the redistribution layer had excellent insulating properties. The semiconductor device operated without problems.
